So unless one of his alts is sporting a mask, we're only getting OG Marth (and from the pics, he looks to be just as OP'd as in Brawl).

Aww, but Roy's my boy.

Love the fuck out of Marth, he and Cartoon Link were fun to play as (not normal Link for whatever reason).

I'll definitely be getting this.... anyone else feel the hype just isn't there like it was for Brawl? Maybe when we get more unique and the new challengers it will...

I wouldn't say we're not getting Roy, Ike, or somebody else from Fire Emblem. And having thought about it, Lucina might actually still be in this as well, given the fact that the Male WiiFit Trainer is also somehow in (maybe like alts that are actual alts instead of pallet swaps). My previous post was more about my theory of Marth getting replaced by Marth!? (aka Lucina) getting shot critted to hell (though it does make sense since the DS remakes happened between Brawl and now, which was basically a collective remake of FE3 (too bad we didn't get the other half of that)).

As for the hype, I think it's because unlike Brawl, we're not getting an update about some mechanical feature or function like Assist Trophies or stages or other items on a daily basis (we're only getting screenshots this time around which means that they're not really going to tell us anything really different, and the odds of a major update dropping tomorrow or even within a month is highly unlikely versus the every day there's at least something worth checking out Brawl's website for).

@Yggdra: That screenshot is so fake it hurts. Wind Waker has not been confirmed to have a playable stage (it's Spirit Tracks that's representing Toon Link's home field), and the characters are way too small in that screenshot compared to the background (and there's like barely anything happening in said background as well). Nice effort on Lucy's feet though.

I kinda hope not. I ddn't really like the idea of alts in Smash Bros Mellee, I thought it cheapened the game a bit (it's cool on that one hand where you like a character's style but wish they played just a wee-bit differently, but I don't know if it's enough or just a quick way to make a bigger roster).

The impression I got from it was that the alts are not separate characters but straight up alts like how Daisy was one for Peach (except in this case they look to be making different character models but maintaining the same fighting mechanics and roster slot; or in short, I would guess that the Male Wii Fit Trainer will fight exactly like Female Wii Fit Trainer despite any visual differences).
